Tips

memory
维 ('to maintain / fiber') is a stock transliteration character for English 'V-/W-' opening syllables (维克托 Victor, 大卫 David). 博 ('broad/learned') gives a 'bo' tail, often used for Western names ending in '-bo' or '-bow'. Note: not to be confused with 微博 (the Chinese microblog Sina Weibo) - different first character entirely (微 'tiny' vs 维 'fiber').
mistakes
Be careful - 微博 (Sina Weibo) and 维博 (the name) sound nearly identical but use different first characters and different tones (wēi 1st-tone vs wéi 2nd-tone). In casual handwriting they can look almost the same, so context (a tech company vs a person) is usually how you tell them apart.
